The Justice Department’s new proposed rule would restrict state bar ethics investigations of DOJ attorneys — another attempt by the Trump administration to dismantle checks on its abuses of power. bit.ly/4c741wB

I do miss the days when I took everything for granted.

Is the Popa a Catholic? In this Ohio diner, they aren’t so sure.

Kash Patel was sharing classified info on Ukraine w/Rudy while sniffing his nose in efforts to frame the Bidens in 2019. Seems like that should have been relevant to his confirmation. legacy.www.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

Trump makes a profane post threatening genocide on Easter, trashes the Pope for refusing to worship him, and posts a depiction of himself as Jesus healing the sick. The right-wing political pastors who promoted this scumbag fake Christian as someone chosen by God are charlatans.

🔎📱 Just before Hungary’s election, we revealed Viktor Orbán’s intelligence agencies secretly use Webloc – an Israeli mass surveillance tool tracking hundreds of millions via smartphone ad data – making Hungary the first confirmed EU user, likely violating GDPR. @vsquare.bsky.social @citizenlab.ca

“SECRATARY”

Trump held a mega donor fundraiser at “Trump Winery” last night as Americans continue to struggle with high prices

ICE has been really good at catching wind of these unannounced visits in other cities recently and flying all the captured migrants out beforehand. But not today. Well done catching them, Congresswoman. We should expect that all of the detention centers are this bad when they aren’t tipped off.

"Roger Stone staved off Laura Loomer's efforts to get President Donald Trump to fire Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard" is one of the more cursed sentences I can imagine. www.axios.com/2026/04/10/t...

This is weirdly comforting.

President Trump is hosting another event for his memecoin's top holders at Mar-a-Lago in 2 weeks. It's just as outrageous as it sounds: people are lining his pockets and then getting access to the president. Don't let it fly under the radar.

We can be fairly certain Melania's statement last night was at least partly an attempt to stave off Amenda Ungaro's claims bc AFTER she made it, Paolo Zampolli told the Daily Mail he would back her story under oath. emptywheel.net/2026/04/09/m...

NEWS: Jonathan Caravello, the philosophy professor accused of assaulting federal agents after removing a tear gas canister from a crowd — the same canister that a U.S. Border Patrol agent had thrown at protesters during an immigration raid — was found NOT GUILTY www.huffpost.com/entry/jonath...

Re Hormuz Strait: Fox friends morning zoo host Ainsley Earhardt just sincerely and earnestly asked “Why can’t we just dig a canal through Oman?”

Susan Collins has seen nearly $25,000 in profits from her oil and gas investments since the start of the war in Iran. While Maine people face higher costs at home, servicemembers and civilians die, Collins stands to make a profit. americanjournalnews.com/collins-what...

Oh. Holy hell please let this be the reason Melania ran to the press: the guy who imported her, Einstein visa and all, used ICE to deport the mother of his child. Zampolli was in Hungary w/JD. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/20/u...

When you nurture monsters, they will eventually turn on you. It never fails.

Hey Melania, unsolicited denials are the reddest of red flags. You're lying.

Everyone needs to be reading Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez on the #EpsteinFiles substack.com/home/post/p-...

It's not complicated. The world is being destroyed so an insane heathen and unscrupulous Zionist can enrich themselves and the billionaire Epstein class sycophants who support them.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America. Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Amercians: The Constitution prescribes a separation between Church and State. Trump: I’m going to invade the Church if they don’t do what i want Americans: Which church? Trump: The big one

The Trump admin is keeping a controversial $70 million jet — leased by former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — for travel by Trump's Cabinet and Melania. The $70 million plane features a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, four large flat-screen TVs and even a bar.

There’s no real ceasefire. Iran and Israel are still lighting each other up and gulf states are fighting off drones. Trump painted himself into an economic corner, probably greenlit a failed special ops mission they lied about and turned into a rescue mission, and negotiated a hidden surrender.

The typical Trump flacks, and the man himself, are irreligious even while they pander to it. But Hegseth is actually deep into an extremist sect that's not just evangelical but a particular brand of ultra-Calvinist theocratic nationalism. That's why he goes beyond the rest and in some peculiar ways.

The president is just posting his negotiating position on main. None of this is agreed to, and the fact that this is all he is asking for is a startling admission of U.S. strategic defeat. He is HOPING Iran will let him get back to a position worse than JCPOA.

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

President Obama: “It’s important to make sure that we’re talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds.” President Biden: “With light and hope, we summoned new strength and new resolve." Orange felon: “A whole civilization will die tonight.”

Ten safety-net hospitals are at risk of closure in Ohio due to health cuts under a Republican spending law President Donald Trump signed last summer, according to a new analysis. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/07/a...

Fascinating exchange

God loves it when we are bombing an ancient civilization and kill civilians, and he’s watching over us because we’re number one! Happy Easter! Praise Jesus!

Disgraceful! The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering. It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov And Trump just bombed it...

We take you now live to the Australian War Memorial Council chair and chief denier, Kim Beazley, for comment . . .

We keep asking when republicans will object, and the answer is NEVER. They are fully invested in protecting pedophiles.

I’m sure that’s news to them…

literally further away from earth than any human being ever and still can’t get away from him, brutal stuff

Three possibilities to explain Trump's statements and actions. 1️⃣ He's insane 2️⃣ He's genuinely on a mission to break up NATO and greatly weaken US power and influence (for who? Well, we can guess) 3️⃣ 1 & 2 + massive corruption Which do you think is most likely to be correct?

The U.S. is carrying over $34 trillion in national debt. And somehow the loudest voices about “fiscal responsibility” keep voting for bigger deficits. It is not about the debt. It’s about who stealing everything they can from us before they’re voted out.

This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.

Enormous (expensive, wing tip) shoe just finally dropped in the NYTimes. Jeffrey Epstein had two primary benefactors who financed his "lifestyle" and crimes. The first was Lex Wexner. The second was financier Leon Black. What did Epstein do for Black? Now we know: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/23/b...
